Starke County Jury Convicts Man of OVWI

A Starke County jury of six found Jerome Uskert guilty on a charge of Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated in a trial conducted on Thursday.

During a break after the verdict was read, Uskert pleaded guilty to another charge of Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated-Prior and those two charges were merged. He was arrested in February 2012 on the OVWI-prior charge and then arrested after failing to appear in October.
